Associated with the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in Orange stores, our robot KiOne has a new super power: writing.

The big plus of the Galaxy Note 9 is its stylus. What can be done with it is definitively what the robot must highlight.
Lidwine Martinot, our CTO, and the R & D team have developed some magic formulas: a hint of artificial intelligence for calibration, some style and curves and “voilà”, a robot  ready to show the Live Message, the screen sharing and the cropping.

Slovakia, Romania, Belgium, Poland, Luxembourg, Spain and France welcome in Orange stores these unique robots eager to share their Galaxy Note 9 experiences.

Key Infuser robots were visible on Credit Agricole booth for the Paris Retail Week event. Our partnership with Crédit Agricole carries on ; we have developped a specific plateform with 2 robots to promote a new payment app from CA-PS (Crédit Agricole Payment Services).

The 2 robots received much interest and helped CA-PS staff promoting their applications.

Key Infuser was at the Crédit Agricole stand for Money2020 in Amsterdam, the fintech reference trade show in the world. This presence has given to Key Infuser an international exposure to major groups. The banking sector is a priority for the company and the KiOne robot is the ideal solution to promote the launch of new applications. The world of finance is in full revolution with new and disruptive offers (new payment services, blockchain, data and analytics,…) and Key Infuser wants to be a part of these changes.

Our presence has also allowed us to get to know the entire Crédit Agricole Payment Services (CAPS) executive committee and a partnership with CAPS has started, we can tell you more after the summer !

Providing the best customer experience is a strategical point for the well-known NASDAQ company Verizon.  And that’s exactly the focus of the challenge that they proposed to the 9000 startups who were at Vivatech.

We are very proud to have won a prize on a subject that is dear to us. Bringing emotion, fun and pedagogy via KiOne the robot, are parts of Key Infuser values.

 

The opportunity of collaborating with Verizon around those values on an original project(…) is exactly the type of real opportunities that Vivatech Show generates.

The 2 startups have chosen to work hand in hand to present the first platform including connected devices, home automation and Smart City data during the famous show.

KiOne presented Imperihome application’s  functionalities on Imperihome’s booth at the Eureka Park. Getting city air quality, checking city bike  availability, activating a home alarm,  closing the shutters, etc, all within this single application :  KiOne had so many options to choose from.

“KiOne managed to present easily the functionalities of the applicative part. KiOne energized the presentation.” mentionned Laurent Perez CEO of Imperihome/Ziblue.

“During the CES, our robot became the friendly assistant of Imperihome team. The variety of features within the application provided a very interesting use case : KiOne showed the first part and the visitor continued on his/her phone.” mentionned Domitille Esnard-Domerego, CEO of Key Infuser.

 

We have joined the world’s largest startup incubator STATION F in Paris  via Fellowship program Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.

This time and for the first time, the TFWA hosted a Digital Village.

An obvious choice when you understand the importance of shopper experience in transit in the airports : 83% of the passengers enjoy brands communication and 83% expect communication which surprise them.

A nudge from the passengers to meet more technologies: they’re looking for being bedazzled and for starting their journey with exceptional, spectacular moments.

There at TFWA, KiOne presented the innovative smartphone application Perfume Adviser from Perfumist : starting from her perfume preferences, the user is transported to other perfumes that she can try in closest stores.
